...give me Fred, please.

And since Chester is here---

(Cut to Soundwave, Blaster, Bumblebee and Rumble having a party. Suddenly Starscream walks in front of the doorway.)

Starscream: Uh...you guys having a party?

Blaster: ...nope

Soundwave: Negative.

Bumblebee: No.

Rumble: No.

(Rumble awkwardly closes the door. The music plays again.)

Starscream: I can still see you.

Soundwave's Voice: Yes, we know.

And yes, finally, the last of the stuff you will have to put into storage one day to make room for more stuff.

Random Prompt #116

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? There is one that I can think of right now. Sewing: I have lost interest in Sewing over the years. Over time, when I’m in school and mainly focus on art, I’m trying, though. I thought about doing it again when I went to Mega-Con a few weeks ago. After seeing all the cosplays they made, they made me feel like I…

5 maggio 1821, muore Napoleone Bonaparte.

Passato alla storia per essere stato grande un stratega, conquistare e legislatore, in realtà fu anche altro: il primo mitomane moderno a mettersi in testa di fare dell’Europa un mega stato unitario e poi invadere la Russia.

Poco più di un secolo dopo sarà emulato da un mediocre pittore austriaco, con più o meno le medesime conseguenze.

Stesso sogno imperiale, stessa bruciante sconfitta. Anzi decisamente peggiore.

Ebbene, difronte alla perentorietà della storia uno si aspetterebbe che i governanti successivi agiscano con un briciolo di senno, realismo e cautela in più.

Invece no. E nel 2024 ci ritroviamo con l’unione europea pronta a far nuovamente guerra alla Russia.

Per i più attenti l’esito è già scritto, ma non voglio rovinare il finale a tutti gli altri.

-----

Ei fu. Siccome immobile,

dato il mortal sospiro,

stette la spoglia immemore

orba di tanto spiro,

così percossa, attonita

la terra al nunzio sta,

muta pensando all’ultima

ora dell’uom fatale;

né sa quando una simile

orma di piè mortale

la sua cruenta polvere

a calpestar verrà.

(...)

A. Manzoni

= Cast Cards =

Slowly catching up on Cast cards by the fabulous and kind @melvisik! First up today is Antoine Douaihy, one of our executive producers! Now-- I was getting confused on the different level producers so I figured I'd mention the difference here in case you were too! Executive Producers: "The executive producer sits at the top of the production hierarchy as it is their job to source and secure financing for production. Without them, a film or show could never be made as they are the ones who kickstart the project." - Toronto Film School

-- Line Producer --

Another producer is up, Susan Parker! One of our Line Producers for the show! " Line producers are at the heart of a production, hiring the crew, allocating the money and making sure the filming is done safely, creatively, on budget and on time. They are typically the most senior member of the production team, second only to the producers. Working closely with heads of departments, they decide how the money gets spent, delivering the best possible product to the producer or series producer while offering the director and heads of department enough money to realise the vision." - ScreenSkills

-- Makeup Artists --

Last but not least for the night is Devan Weitzman, another of our fabulous make-up artists!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies! Gosh it's been a wild ride this fall (and spring for those of you on the opposite site of the world). I truly hope yall are getting some rest and re-cooperation time. There's been so much going on. This Love Note is very short-- because I'm overwhelmed at the moment. Please just remember that It's OK not to be OK, ya? Sit with your feelings sometimes and give them some love, sad feelings are part of you too, and the more we recognize them and give them love too, the more we heal. Take care Crew, this is a gentle reminder to be kind to yourself today <3

Glasgow Times

James McAvoy is currently in cinemas starring in “Speak No Evil”, but the actor is also preparing to step behind the camera with his directorial debut, California Schemin’.

Two Scottish lads from Dundee conned the music industry by pretending to be an established Californian rap duo, appearing on MTV and bagging a record deal until their scam unravelled.

'California Schemin' will star Séamus McLean Ross and Samuel Bottomley. James McAvoy's directorial debut California Schemin about a hip-hop hoax has presold to StudioCanal for the U.K. and Ireland and a range of other international markets.

California Schemin' is currently in pre-production and begins filming next month.

Good Omens x I p’ me, tu p’ te

[herrinarte]

Ok so jumping off what I said about SJM probably never writing a book on Mor and if she did it would be terrible, I actually have a decent idea of what she could do if she had the balls to do it.

Right, so Velaris is the only city under Rhysand’s rule that is actually a safe place for people to live so naturally you’re going to get an uprising. Classic revolution against the rich and prosperous from the poor and tortured. A group of fae are causing a stir and Rhys gets spooked so he sends Mor to ‘sort them out’, but when she gets there she is confronted by the leader of the revolution, a fae woman from the CoN who tells her she has suffered for long enough and so have so many women, women like her and Mor.

It would be a whole book about Mor having to confront the fact that she had escaped the nightmare that so many women have no choice but to spend their whole life living in and eventually die in, and did nothing to help them. Having to face the reality that Mr feminist, it’s your choice, I need a lint roller, Rhysand, might not be a good ruler and only really makes changes that benefit himself and the people close to him.

The romance would be between her and the revolution leader as they fight back and forth, Mor trying to derail the revolution and the leader steam rolling ahead whilst showing Mor how corrupt the system that she works for is. Eventually Mor learns from her and is the first to fall in love and actually tries to make a difference in the world for her people because she genuinely cares about them now and the leader finally allows herself to open up and trust someone who used to be her enemy.

It would involve a lot of gay tension and heated arguments about politics and such but it would also solve the glaring issue of Rhysand being an obviously bad ruler that no one seems to address within the books or acknowledge.

Obviously Sarah would never do this because it would require her to 1) state in black and white that Rhys is a bad ruler and not a super cool, mega genius feminist who would totally rock at being a high king. 2) write like an actual queer story. 3) be political.

It’s kind of disappointing that she doesn’t do stuff like this though. I’m no best selling author, I have no credentials, but I can see a world that she made that she could use to say something. She has loads of characters sat at the sidelines, waiting to be something, and she just goes for what she knows every time. I get it, she writes the same story over and over because it works and sells, but as a writer shouldn’t you make yourself uncomfortable? Try to challenge yourself. She’s made so much money from her books she has the financial stability to take risks that other authors don’t. She could write anything and she’d at least get sales from the die hard fans.

I know some will say she doesn’t want to say anything, her books are escapism, but SJM consistently says she want women at the centre of her books, that she’s a feminist or whatever, and I’m just screaming THEN SAY SOMETHING OF WORTH GIRL.

Women are at the centre yet the lady of the autumn court is still unnamed after all these years, a prominent figure of political importance, the mother of a main character. Still no name. Come on, girl, really?

Anyway, rant 2 over. I really do think her books are fun if you turn off your brain for 6hrs but I can’t help but feel like Sarah is slacking, majorly. In 2024 we can do better.
